Zimmermann, Freiburg Printed in Germany 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Preface When we started planning the edition of the Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2006 (ICM2006), we considered the possibility of publishing only an electronic version. However, it is pretty difficult to break traditions, particularly for an activity like the ICM with an existence of more than a hundred years. Thus, we finally decided to mimic the model that started in Berlin 98: to publish both, a printed and an electronic version of the Proceedings. However, you may notice the influence of living the Internet Era, where length of files is not really a big issue, by the number of pages, altogether almost 4400, probably a record for the history of ICMs. These Proceedings consist of three volumes. Volume I is divided into four parts. The first one gathers the speeches at the opening ceremony including the presentation of the Fields Medals, the Rolf Nevanlinna Prize and the newly awarded Gauss Prize for Applications of Mathematics as well as the speeches at the closing ceremony. It also contains information about the organization of the Congress, the committees, sponsors and other collaborators. The second part contains the traditional laudationes for the prizes, that is, an extensive presentation of the work of the awardees. The third part is the main body of the volume and consists of the articles written by the plenary lecturers of the Congress. One of the characteristics of this ICM has been the large number of diverse activities accompanying day by day the program fixed by the IMU Scientific Program Committee. In the fourth part of the volume, you can find articles corresponding to some of them. Volumes II and III were printed before the Congress and distributed to the partici- pants in Madrid. They gather the articles written by the invited speakers in the different scientific sections of the Congress. The on-line version of these volumes is accessible at the address http://www. icm2006.org/proceedings We take this opportunity to express our thanks to the authors of the articles for their effort in the preparation of excellent contributions. We also would like to express our gratitude to the EMS Publishing House for the superb job in the edition of these Proceedings and all the printed material of the ICM2006.

    Annual Report 2005-2006

    CORNELL UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS ANNUAL REPORT 2005–2006 The Department of Mathematics at Cornell University is known throughout the world for its distinguished faculty and stimulating mathematical atmosphere. Close to 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty represent a broad spectrum of current mathematical research, with a lively group of postdoctoral fellows and frequent research and teaching visitors. The graduate program includes over 70 graduate students from many different countries. The undergraduate program includes several math major programs, and the department offers a wide selection of courses for all types of users of mathematics. A private endowed university and the federal land-grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a member of the Ivy League and a partner of the State University of New York. There are approximately 19,500 students at Cornell’s Ithaca campus enrolled in seven undergraduate units and four graduate and professional units. Nearly 14,000 of those students are undergraduates, and most of those take at least one math course during their time at Cornell. The Mathematics Department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences, a community of 6,000 students and faculty in 50 departments and programs, encompassing the humanities, sciences, mathematics, fine arts, and social sciences. We are located in Malott Hall, in the center of the Cornell campus, atop a hill between two spectacular gorges that run down to Cayuga Lake in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State.

Woyczyński Case Western Reserve University Universitext is a series of textbooks that presents material from a wide variety of mathematical disciplines at master’s level and beyond. The books, often well class-tested by their author, may have an informal, personal even experimental approach to their subject matter. Some of the most successful and established books in the series have evolved through several editions, always following the evolution of teaching curricula, into very polished texts. Thus as research topics trickle down into graduate-level teaching, first textbooks written for new, cutting-edge courses may make their way into Universitext.

    Richard Schoen – Mathematics

    Rolf Schock Prizes 2017 Photo: Private Photo: Richard Schoen Richard Schoen – Mathematics The Rolf Schock Prize in Mathematics 2017 is awarded to Richard Schoen, University of California, Irvine and Stanford University, USA, “for groundbreaking work in differential geometry and geometric analysis including the proof of the Yamabe conjecture, the positive mass conjecture, and the differentiable sphere theorem”. Richard Schoen holds professorships at University of California, Irvine and Stanford University, and is one of three vice-presidents of the American Mathematical Society. Schoen works in the field of geometric analysis. He is in fact together with Shing-Tung Yau one of the founders of the subject. Geometric analysis can be described as the study of geometry using non-linear partial differential equations. The developments in and around this field has transformed large parts of mathematics in striking ways. Examples include, gauge theory in 4-manifold topology, Floer homology and Gromov-Witten theory, and Ricci-and mean curvature flows. From the very beginning Schoen has produced very strong results in the area. His work is characterized by powerful technical strength and a clear vision of geometric relevance, as demonstrated by him being involved in the early stages of areas that later witnessed breakthroughs. Examples are his work with Uhlenbeck related to gauge theory and his work with Simon and Yau, and with Yau on estimates for minimal surfaces. Schoen has also established a number of well-known and classical results including the following: • The positive mass conjecture in general relativity: the ADM mass, which measures the deviation of the metric tensor from the imposed flat metric at infinity is non-negative.

    Interview with Andrei Okounkov “I Try Hard to Learn to See the World The

    Interview with Andrei Okounkov “I try hard to learn to see the world the way physicists do” Born in Moscow in 1969, he obtained his doctorate in his native city. He is currently professor of Representation Theory at Princeton University (New Jersey). His work has led to applications in a variety of fields in both mathematics and physics. Thanks to this versatility, Okounkov was chosen as a researcher for the Sloan (2000) and Packard (2001) Foundations, and in 2004 he was awarded the prestigious European Mathematical Society Prize. This might be a very standard question, but making it is mandatory for us: How do you feel, being the winner of a Fields Medal? How were you told and what did you do at that moment? Out of a whole spectrum of thoughts that I had in the time since receiving the phone call from the President of the IMU, two are especially recurrent. First, this is a great honour and it means a great responsibility. At times, I feel overwhelmed by both. Second, I can't wait to share this recognition with my friends and collaborators. Mathematics is both a personal and collective endeavour: while ideas are born in individual heads, the exchange of ideas is just as important for progress. I was very fortunate to work with many brilliant mathematician who also became my close personal friends. This is our joint success. Your work, as far as I understand, connects several areas of mathematics. Why is this important? When this connections arise, are they a surprise, or you suspect them somehow? Any mathematical proof should involve a new ingredient, something which was not already present in the statement of the problem.

    On the Strong Density Conjecture for Integral Apollonian Circle Packings

    ON THE STRONG DENSITY CONJECTURE FOR INTEGRAL APOLLONIAN CIRCLE PACKINGS JEAN BOURGAIN AND ALEX KONTOROVICH Abstract. We prove that a set of density one satisfies the Strong Density Conjecture for Apollonian Circle Packings. That is, for a fixed integral, primitive Apollonian gasket, almost every (in the sense of density) sufficiently large, admissible (passing local ob- structions) integer is the curvature of some circle in the packing.
